 754         So why do we have all these overloaded operator[]s? A bit of history:
 755         initially there was only one of them, taking size_t. Then people
 756         started complaining because they wanted to use ints as indices (I
 757         wonder why) and compilers were giving warnings about it, so we had to
 758         add the operator[](int). Then it became apparent that you couldn't
 759         write str[0] any longer because there was ambiguity between two
 760         overloads and so you now had to write str[0u] (or, of course, use the
 761         explicit casts to either int or size_t but nobody did this).
 762
 763         Finally, someone decided to compile wxWin on an Alpha machine and got
 764         a surprize: str[0u] didn't compile there because it is of type
 765         unsigned int and size_t is unsigned _long_ on Alpha and so there was
 766         ambiguity between converting uint to int or ulong. To fix this one we
 767         now add operator[](uint) for the machines where size_t is not already
 768         the same as unsigned int - hopefully this fixes the problem (for some
 769         time)
 770
 771         The only real fix is, of course, to remove all versions but the one
 772         taking size_t...
